searching coordinates copied from other apps - need support for more formats, and auto placement of waypoint pin
If I copy coordinates from another app, and paste them into the search bar in Gaia GPS, it works fine with decimal degrees like "43.45941 -70.39279" but not in other formats like "N 43.45941x W 70.39279x" (where x is the degree symbol).
It would be very helpful if your app would support receiving coordinated in additional formats - not just the one I have specified in settings.
It would also be helpful if after pasting coordinates into the search successfully, a waypoint pin would be placed at that location and the usual Cancel/Save/Save&Guide options were immediately available (rather than the map simply centering around the location).

In addition to somainers comments, in order to utilize desktop gaia as a dispatching or mission planning tool for wildland fire or other natural resource missions, additional coordinate formats would make gaia immediately more relevant to thousands of wildland firefighter users who are generally operating in decimal minutes or minutes seconds..
Gaias utility in wildland fire has increased greatly with the addition of area computation, and adding more desktop formats for coordinate conversion would be a timesaver.
